You all realize that steam is valve's way of ditching sierra so they can finally be free to distribute their own content right? Its about time becuase the aging WON servers were getting a bit inconvenient. I rememebr once i couldn't play NS for a full day becuase WON kept not authenticating.
And steam isn't a bad program, just very touchy on installation. Alot of people are not very computer litterate so they mess it up and tell everyone steam is horrible and crashes all the time. In truth it is a very nice program, my only gripe about it would be the lack of a progress bar on some downloads, but that's negligable.
what sparked off the whole spy ware thing, was when people found out that there was some file logging mp3s and other things, they asked 3 different members of valve about it. Each of the 3 gave a totally different explanation about what exactly the file did <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->
